My ex BIL bought an Olds 442 from an old lady who bought it new. He got it for a great price, waxed it and showed it at a show in NH. Won "Best in Show" because it was 100% original.

Then he got a magazine cover.

That was after YEARS of building and restoring old cars.

Congrats .22hustler. :cool:

Is that an A Body next to your Nova?

It's a all original, 1985 Monte Carlo SS. It never saw winter or rain, and it has about 70,000 miles on it. I'm the original owner as my wife and myself bought that car as a wedding present to each other back in Oct. 1985.It runs in the mid-8's in the eighth mile, and can still get rubber on the upshifts. It's never been to any type of garage or dealer for any problems except for oil changes. It still carry's the same original shocks, and brakes.
